I will check with my colleague, since he is actually using T-Gen to 
re-generate our parsers. It works, allthough the fact that it only supports
parsers with 1 lookahead character make it a bit simplistic to use. I will
forward your mail to him.

> TESTING T-GEN
> 1)
> When evaluating
> TranslatorGenerator runAllTests
> all tests failed.
>
> The tests generate a scanner and a parser class in the category
> 'TGen-Interface'.
> You have to remove them manually after a test failed. I evaluated the tests
> individually as well with the same results.

> ex 1 LL(1)  OK
> ex 2 LL(1) OK
> ex 3  LL(1)  OK
> ex 4 LALR(1)  OK
> ex 5 LR(1)  OK
> ex 6 LR(1); generation failed; nondeterministic parser available
> ex 10 LL(1)  OK
